Sadly you can't anymore. This was changed the day before Patch 2.0 went live. It seems the devs really want you to endure Tutorial Mode longer than you have to.

instead?
Yes the reason is due to oversight on my part just glossing over early and mid game sections. Ennead's Bane is definitely better than Queen of Glass, mostly because the Ancient Armor base comes with a -9 velocity penalty.

Not too big of a deal until Teganze, though you should get it where you can. I'm inclined to think devs don't think it matters either because pierce on runes is now gated behind lv 120 content for elemental runes and 125 Fauzt for Taha (2 all pierce). If you can't get pierce you should get spell damage and spell focus, which the set bonuses offer in abundance.

Should there be a section that talks about honorific gloves, or shrine crafting an armor, or something like that? Before you get all these Sacred Uniques / Sets? I feel like going into the low Dungeons 105 - 115+ before getting these SU/Set, with underleveled TUs is just going to be horrible.
Yes, I'll add that next.

. Before that you need farm Teganze for lightning essence to make lightning pierce runes.
It was a typo on my end, I meant mid-game pen stacking. The set barely provides any and you can't just get the runes while farming duncraig now. I guess there is a need for a special section devoted to minimum required gear to farm Teganze for pen runes.
Yes, there does need to be one. Soontm.
vychodnarrr wrote:which sockets are you using?
Early game - shield sockets should use old gems for res, body armor sockets should use the mxl gems even if they are too low to give max res. If you are severely low on fire res for example and you have multiple Bloodstones, it's better to use two Bloodstones instead of combining together to make 1 Flawless Bloodstone.
Mid game, Perfect Topaz, Pul, rare jewels with SF, LSD
Endgame - Crafted jewels with Spell Focus, Lightning Spell, flat life, Lightning Pierce runes
